Does anyone know what has happened to the wine packages that were offered by carnival in the past? I went in to check on an update/changes on their lists as we leave next weekend and found no listing at all for the discounted packages. In the past it was quite a savings on buying 5 bottles and allowed you to choose from an assortment. Definitely disappointed if they have stopped this as it was certainly something we enjoyed. If anyone knows please let me know

They don't sell the wine packages online. You can buy it on the ship. For a 7-night cruise you get 5 bottles. This is what I have from our 7 night cruise on the Elation in July.

Keep in mind this was a few months ago and also the choices may have changed, although I doubt by much if any.

Thanks for the info Dave. I am going to put in for the Shareholder Benefit ($100 credit to the sail and sign), the basic package looks good.

Am I reading this right, for $109.25, we can purchase 5 bottles? I assume this is all to be consumed in the dining room? Where do you buy this? Can you do it when boarding?

Bub,

This is dining room service only and depending on the ship they will have stations set up to order it, or you can do it on the first night at dinner with your waiter. I recall getting "the sales pitch" from our waiter on the Elation on that 1st night.

Yes, they still have the "Cruise the Vineyard" wine packages. It's just not on their web site any longer that I have seen lately. As Dave noted they should have stations set up, or you can go to the Formalities Shop to inquire, or your dining room server.

Hey Bub, I am getting conflicting answers about this now as far as pre-ordering. Maybe they have changed the program or something. I've read that some folks have pre-ordered this from the Bon Voyage Dept. and had the tickets delivered to the cabin. You might can give them a call and ask. The number is 800-522-7648 during business hours. If you call, please post back with what they say.

Thanks Dwayne,
I will call next week and let you know what I find out. I have already purchased 2 bottles from Bon Voyage dept. as a Christmas gift for hubby. 5 more would be perfect!.
